What Does This Urine Analysis Test Result While Having Symptoms Of Cystitis Indicate?

I have been having bouts of cystitis, I'm now on my third in the last month and am taking a 5 day course of Nitrofurantoin. I have an uncomfortable feeling inside either the urethra or vagina, it's hard to know which and a sore painful feeling externally. One day my urine sample is normal and two days later it shows microscopic blood and the latest showed leucosytes plus 1. Are these symptoms typical of cystitis and can it take a slightly longer course of antibiotics to finally clear it up. Thank you for your reply

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer.
You seem to be suffering from UTI as indicated by urine analysis report. If I were your treating physician I would like to perform a urine culture to find out to which drug is the bacteria most sensitive and then start treatment according to the report.
As you have mentioned you have already taken medicine for this UTI, I would recommend you now consult your local physician for detailed clinical evaluation and further management accordingly as repeated intake of medicine may cause the bacteria to become resistant.
Meanwhile use citraalka sachet as they reduce the acidity of the urine thus stopping the infection from spreading. Maintain a good hydration level and take good care of your personal hygiene.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
